Looks great, and will be super functional as well... the question is, how many goats will it hold.

I looked up "commander". Wow. I have the end piece of an enormous beam, say, 6"x14"x24". I imagine I could bomb a hole through it and wedge it down onto a baseball bat and voila! That is one serious tool.
Griff, I applaud you for your accomplishment here. I am humbled by your skill. Congratulations on a job very well done.

Griff, how are the posts (columns?) attached to the "sills" on the tops of the rock walls?

I threaded bolts into undersize holes which I used to level the 4x8s then set them in a bed of mortar. If I were concerned about rot (read lived in the Pacific NW) I would have mounted the wood on a metal fixture set in the mortar. It should be very dry there though.

hm. some clarification please. It sounds like the 4x8s are the toppers on the walls, set in mortar and bolted to the wall. How are the columns attached to these horizontal pieces?

There is an approx 4" square tenon (or pin) on the bottom of the post that is set into a 4" square mortise.
